Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
Kitabu kya muandi nakilembili, Theofilo nikajobha ghoha kwa yesu ghaabhanji kubhomba ni kumanyisya,
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
mpaka ligono muene apokelibhu kunani. Ej'ha jha jhele baada jha kupisya amri kup'etela Roho Mtakatifu kwa mitume bhabhajhele abhachaguili.
3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Baada jha malombosi gha muene, abhonekane kwa bhene ajha hai pia ni fitishu fingi kushuhudibhwa. Kwa magono arobaini akidhihirishi kwa bhene, naa ajobhili kuhusu bhufalme bhwa K'yara.
4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
Bhoibhonana nabhu abhajubhili bhasibhoki Yerusalemu, lakini bhalendayi kwa ndabha jha ahadi jha Dadi, ambajho ajobhili, “Mwaip'eliki kuhomela kwa nene.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Kwamba Yohana abatili kwa masi, lakini mbatisibhwa kwa Roho Mtakatatifu mu magono agha madebe.”
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Nabho bhabhonene pamonga bhakan'kota “Bwana, ivi obho ndo muda ambabho wibeta kubhakerebhusila Israeli bhufalme?”
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
Muene akabhajobhela, “Sawalepi kwa muenga kumanya bhwakati au majira ambayo Dadi akusudili kwa mamlaka gha muene.”
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Lakini mwibeta kupokela nghofu bhwakati Roho mtakatifu paibeta kuhida kwa mwenga, ni muenga mwibe kujha mashahidi bha nene kuoha Yeresalemu ni Uyahudi jhioha ni Samaria mpaka mwisho ghwa nchi.”
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Bwana Yesu bho amalili kujobha agha, bhakaj'ha bhilanga kunani, muene ajhinulibhu kunani, ni libhengu lyan'gupiki bhasimboni kwa mihu gha bhene.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Bhwakati bhilola kumbinguni ilota, ghafla bhanu bhabhele bhajhemili katikati jha bhene bhafwalili maguanda mabhalafu.
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
Bhakajobha, “Enyi bhanu bha Galilaya kwandabha jha kiki mwijhema apa mwilola kumbinguni.” Ojho Yesu jhaakwelili kunani kumbinguni ibeta kukerebhuka kwa namna jhela jhela kama kya mumbwene ilota kumbinguni.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Ndipo bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu, kuhoma kukidonda kya mizeituni ambako okhu karibu ni Yerusalemu, mwendo ghwa ligono lya sabato.
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Bho bhafihili bhakalota ghorofani ambako bhatamaghe. Nabhene ndo Petro, Yohana Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Bhatholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo mwana ghwa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote ni Yuda mwana ghwa Yakobo.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Bhoha bhaungene kama munu mmonga, kwa juhudi bhajhe bhijhendelela ni maombi pamonga ni abhu bhajhela bhadala, Mariamu nyinamunu Yesu nibhakaka yake.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
Katika magono ghala ajhemili katikati jha bhalongomunu, kama bhenu 120, akajobha.
16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
Bhalonho bhangu, jhahele lazima maandiku ghatimisibhwayi, ambapo muandi Roho Mtakatifu ajobhili kwa kinywa kya muene Daudi, kuhusiana ni Yuda, ambajhe abha jhekisi bhala bhabharikamuili Yesu.
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
Kwa kujha muene ajhele mmonga bhitu na apokili fungu lya muene lye faida katika huduma ejhe.”
18 (Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
(Henu, munu ojho, ahemili lieneo kwa khela kya akipokili kwa uovu bhwa muene ni apuabinili kulongolasya mutu, mbhele ghwa kayuiki ni matumbu gha muene ghoha gajhele pabhwaka ghajhitiki.
19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Bhoha bha bhataniuli Yerusalemu bhabeliki kuhusu e'le, hivyo lieneo e'lu bhakalikuta kwa lihina lya bhene. “Akeldama” e'lu ndo “N'gonda ghwa damu.”)
20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
“Mukitabu kya Zaburi ile mbibhu, lendayi eneo lya muene lijhelayi hame na asinihusibhu hata mmonga kutani apala, na Ruhusuajhi munu jhongi atolayi nafasi jha muenejha uongozi.
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Ejhu, jha muhimu, henu, mmonga ghwa bhagosi ambabho bhalongosene ni tete bhwakati Bwana Yesu abhokili ni kujhingila kwa tete.
22 beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
kubhwanjila ku ubatisu bhwa Yohana mpaka ligono lela bho atwalibhu kunani lazima ajhelayi shahidi bhwa ufufuo pamonga ni tete.
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Bhakabhabheka palongolo bhagosi bhabhele, Yusufu jhaakutibhweghe Barnaba ambaye pia akutibhu Yusto ni Mathia.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
Bhene bhasokili bhajobhili, “Bhebhe Bwana, jhaumanyi mioyo jha bhanu bhoha hivyo bhekayi wazi jholeku kati jha bhabhele abha ambajhe un'chaguili.
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
Kutola nafasi katika huduma jha utume, ambapo Yuda abhombi uovu ni kulota mahali pa muene.”
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Bhakapiga kura kwa ajili jha bhene, ni kura jhikanibinila Mathia ambajhe abhalangibhu pamonga ni bhala mitume kumi na moja.
